Hello.  My name is Kathy, and I'm 30 years old, and I am in the process of
being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.  My neurologist is pretty sure,
but is sending me off to a Parkinson's Specialist next week to confirm.

If I do have Parkinson's, I have had symptoms for the past 9 years without
knowing it.  Thus, when I go to the specialist next week, would like to be
armed with some really intelligent questions and information regarding my
condition in terms of medication, what to do, what not to do etc.

If you were me, what kinds of questions would you be asking?  Do you think
there's any danger of being mis-diagnosed?  Ever hear of anybody who was?

This is all new to me, so I am very respectfully picking your brains.
 Thank you, in advance, for any information you can give me.
